That is because the MySQL server is configured to only have a search index length of 4 characters and up (the default) instead of 3 characters for "the" and "arc". "the" is a stopword and would be ignored in any case. "ark" is too short. There is no way to find those with a forum search. The combined string "the ark" is not a valid search phrase because the database doesn't support
full-text searches.
